Today reminds me of seasons of some time ago. The new recruit, usually some raw boned hayseed from some tiny spot in the Wimmera would stride out onto the Lake Oval with our high hopes and expectations. By round three he was in the twos and reality was grinding us down for another season of gallant defeats. Todays game is worth seeing just for the big mountie. One prediction - after todays game he will be the MOOSE (Wayne Henwood where are you son?)
